Chapter 391: The Guilt
If those words just now were spoken by July first.
The people present did not include Orochimaru, Tsunade and the others, so it would be difficult for the four Hokage to take her words to heart.
But now she is still competing with the first generation.
Then all the shadows present at this time had to take it seriously.
The first generation heard that the Uchiha clan was about to be exterminated.
He quickly withdrew his aura and chakra and asked July what had happened.
July gave the third generation a very cunning look.
"Master Shodai, you shouldn't ask me this question."
"You should ask the Third Generation and your brother."
"After all, I was still young when the Uchiha clan was exterminated. I was only a few years old."
Hearing what July said, the first generation looked at the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen beside him.
"Monkey, you say."
"What exactly is going on?"
"The Uchiha clan was the original founder of the village with the Senju clan."
"Even if there were any misunderstandings among our generation, so many years have passed."
"Why did the Uchiha still almost get wiped out?"
"And you, Tobirama. After my death, what policy did you implement towards the Uchiha clan?"
“Why has it come to this?”
Itachi and Sasuke watched the first generation anxiously and sadly asking the Uchiha clan why.
A ripple appeared in their hearts.
Does the first generation really not have any strange opinions towards the Uchiha?
The third generation felt a little ashamed when asked questions by the first generation.
Because the Uchiha clan was exterminated, although he had always wanted to maintain a policy of peace and forgiveness on the surface.
But deep down, he still hoped that Konoha could eliminate this unstable bomb.
Otherwise he wouldn't have acquiesced to Danzo doing that.
When the second generation faced the questions from his eldest brother, he behaved very calmly.
"Brother, I didn't do anything excessive to the Uchiha."
"Just to prevent another spot from appearing in their family."
"What does it have to do with me if they have come to this point?"
"This is entirely their own fault."
"If they were honest, how could the village allow the genocide to happen?"
What the second generation said made Sasuke very angry.
Orochimaru, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but speak.
"Haha, Second-generation Lord, what do you mean you didn't do anything excessive to the Uchiha."
"After you came to power, you first had the Uchiha clan relocated to the outermost part of the village."
"They left the core area of Konoha, and then asked them to take over the work of the Konoha Guard."
"And they built the prison right next to the Uchiha clan's territory."
"On the surface, you are giving up your authority, allowing the Uchiha to take over such an important position of power."
"But did you really think so at that time?"
"The Konoha Guard is not only responsible for protecting the safety of Konoha, but also has the power to enforce the law for the village."
"Such an offensive position has caused the village's attitude towards the Uchiha to be surprisingly bad."
"Isn't this what you wanted to see?"
"Let the entire village isolate the Uchiha so that they will not be a threat to the Hokage lineage."
"And if this continues for a long time, the Uchiha clan will become more and more powerful because of the power in their hands."
“And the village is becoming more and more indifferent towards them.”
"In this way, you can even destroy the foundation of the Uchiha clan's faith without any effort."
"With these methods, you still haven't done anything excessive to the Uchiha clan?"
Orochimaru's words made Sasuke truly understand why the Uchiha clan was not welcome in the village.
If he were to look at things from the perspective of other people in Konoha, he might also feel disgust towards the Uchiha.
After listening to Orochimaru's sharp comments, the first generation looked at the second generation angrily.
"Is everything he said true?"
There are some things that people won't be able to figure out unless you say nothing or admit it.
Everyone present here is smart. If you think about it a little, you will know the purpose of your actions.
What's more, the answer of genocide is already before us.
And the third generation stood up at this time.
He firmly supported his teacher's will, and his eyes turned to Uchiha Itachi.
"At this time, are you still going to hide behind and not say anything?"
"You were the one who planned and executed the genocide."
"You can't let the second generation take all the blame for you, right?"
After hearing the words of the third generation, the first, second and fourth generations looked at Uchiha Itachi who had just activated Susanoo with some confusion.
Itachi understood that some things should not be discussed face to face today.
Then let’s not talk about the Impure World Squad anymore.
He dispersed his Susanoo and stood in front of the first and second generations.
"The demise of the Uchiha clan should not be blamed on anyone else."
"What's the point of talking about right and wrong now?"
"Sasuke, I understand that you want to find a target to hate so much because you don't want to be against me."
"But it's over now, and I've confessed everything to you."
"If you really can't swallow this breath, you can come and take my life anytime."
Itachi's words made Nana frown, and Sasuke surprisingly didn't say anything else.
"Brother Itachi, no one can absolve you of your responsibility."
"Let's talk about the facts. In the end, it was you who did it."
"But it is indeed the sins of the second and third generations that have brought your family to this point today."
"Today, we are not only going to deal with the affairs of your Uchiha clan."
"There is another person at the scene who also needs justice."
"If you are wrong, you must admit it. It's too late to make compensation, but shouldn't you make a clear apology?"
"Your family, and even between you and Sasuke, that's your business."
“I only pursue the understanding of the thought at that moment.”
"Since you don't want to continue talking about your Uchiha clan, then take Sasuke and hide aside first."
"You are responsible for untying the knot in his heart."
"Now, it's time for me to ask for Kakashi-sensei."
"Third generation, you don't have to hide behind."
"Besides, you can't hide anywhere."
"Now, let me ask you about the death of Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo."
"Is this a conspiracy among your top brass?"
Such a straightforward accusation made the three generations feel ashamed.
He lowered his head and glanced at Kakashi secretly.
But Kakashi's eyes were red at this time.
And stared at himself intently.
The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, walked silently to Kakashi's side.
He patted Kakashi's shoulder gently to comfort him.
None of those who can become Hokage are simple people.
Although his position was helped by three generations back then, Minato still had the confidence.
Even without the recommendation of the Third Hokage, he could become Hokage with his own abilities.
He also felt a little sorry for the death of Senior Sakumo.
But at that time he had no ability to do anything and could only watch it all happen.
